"Atoms are multiple combinations of atomoles, and they also exist in solid, liquid, gaseous, and isolated forms." [Keely]

"To comprehend the form of even the atom is to take the introductory or first step toward understanding the eternity (infinity of time) of duration of matter. But to attempt to comprehend the neutral center - the compound etheric or seventh subdivision - is attempting to comprehend the Infinite, for although it is a point and has substance, it is so small that if it were enlarged to the size of the sun, its structure would not be visible under the highest power microscope that can be constructed. No process of mathematics can comprehend or measure such minuteness, for it transcends both logic and computation. Molecules, intermolecules, atoms, interatoms, etherons, interetherons, can be represented by progressive degrees of tenuity, although the degree of tenuity of the latter four is such as we cannot comprehend because we have not and cannot sense them, but the neutral center, with its marvelous properties, its infinite power, is as incomprehensible to our minds as the aggregate power, mass and extension of the objective Universe. We may measure the Outreach of the progressive subdivisions to and including the neutral center, but to attempt to comprehend its properties and powers is to attempt to cross a bridge of mist. No attribute of mind linked with crude molecularmatter can actually comprehend the neutral center."

Atomic Triplets"The structure of the air molecule, as believed in by Keely, is as follows: - Broken up, by vibratory action, he finds it to contain what he calls an atomic triplet. The position of a molecule, on the point of a fine cambric needle sustains the same relation to the point of the needle that a grain of sand sustains to a field of ten acres. We will, then, imagine a molecule magnified to the size of a billiard ball, and the atomic triplet magnified to the size of three marbles, in the triangular position, within that molecule, at its center; unless acted upon by Electricity, when the molecule, the billiard ball, becomes oblate, and the three atoms are ranged in a line within, unless broken up by the mighty force of vibratory action. Nature never gives us a vacuum; consequently, the space within the molecule not occupied by the atomic triplet must be filled with something. This is where the Genii - "the all-prevading ether" - has made its secret abode through untold eons." [Chapter 7 of Keely and His Discoveries]

"Keely's researches lead him to believe Electricity to be but one of the forms of the atom, a "certain condensed form of atomicvibration," beneficial in mild flows and "destructive in its explosive positions." He advanced these ideas at the same time Maxwell's theory of the electromagnetic origin of light, heat and radiant energy, was being accepted by the scientific world as the very dictum of truth. Michelson's work on the isolation of electrons on oil drops has proved that Keely's ideas, held so absurd by the "scientists" of his time, were correct after all. "The electric current is the "first and second order" of the atomic vibration - a dual force - the flow of which is altogether too tenuous to displace any molecules. The highest conditions associated with Electricity come under the fourth descending order of sympathetic condensation, in the atomicsubdivision, which is altogether too remote to take any direct part in etheric disturbances."The Snell Manuscript

"Atoms do not have nuclei. Nature creates her atoms the same may that you would compress air into a tire. It is hard work. You pump it in from the outside toward its middle. Then you put a cap on it to imprison it. If it is not sealed and imprisoned it would escape without effort by you. It does not need help to expand. It only needs help to be compressed."
